This view of Barley Lake in the Caha Mountains near Glengarriff is actually from several kilometres away. From the twisting road to Kenmare, a shimmering turquoise glimpse is all that can be seen. The lake, which is actually very wide and deep lies nestled among the rugged slanted rocks and craggy outcroppings. The emphasis in this painting is on the dramatic rock formations behind the lake and how they are contrasted by the weathered grassy slopes of the approach.
